So, I know I had plans to make a third video on the history of Phobia: The Awakening, but there really isn't much to cover from there on. I kind of already talked about it, the cut content and also how it went on and off development, and then also where it came from, that being the older game known as Brought to Life.

I do have another series in mind, and I've talked about it a few times before, and it'll probably start coming out later on this year, as I do want to keep this sequel as my main focus right now. That series will go REALLY deep into Phobia's past, where it came from, and most importantly, why it's the way it is.

---------------------

But as I was writing the script out for what was going to be the third video, I realized how far I've come and just how grateful I am to be here.

Did you know Phobia: The Awakening was never going to be released to the public? It was and always has been just a passion project made just for fun and to practice. It's been that way for years! The concept of my The Wiggles FNaF fangame has been around since 2015. It was very different at first, but the series I made in 2018 is what The Awakening and the future games are going to be closest to.

Pretty much all of the games I made before 2019 were done in a game called Little Big Planet 3, which is a game where you can create your own games, make music, make movies, and so much more. It was part of my childhood, and I wouldn't be here without it. I'll have to show you what I have left of my old work someday in the new video series. I don't have all of it, but I do have the best chunk of it.

When I was making the older Phobia games in LBP3, I joked "What if a YouTuber played these Phobia games?" I knew those games were really not that great, and I think a lot of people here would agree. But seeing people play what I consider the best out of ALL of those games I made before, enjoying it, being scared by it, and discussing it, it's been surreal to see it all. Like in the memes, I see people other than me and The Wolfdog say "Phoba", which has been an inside joke between us since the 2018 games in LBP3.

A little fun fact, if you do happen to have Litte Big Planet 3 (and if the servers are still working), you can find some of my stuff that did make it to the public! I go by the same name on there. I could technically publish the old Phobia series on there, but they're just so old and I'd rather just keep moving forwards with things from now on. And I'm sure a lot of you don't have LBP3, which is more of the main reason. The LBP community would just be really confused!

(As if my current stuff on my profile wasn't weird enough)

---------------------

Phobia: The Awakening went on and off development a LOT. I was trying to add in so much more with not much of a proper plan, and then it would get messy, and then I'd feel discouraged. It was hard to get that game done. I wanted it to feel complete and full. I can easily get discouraged with my own work, and it can really slow me down. So seeing the positive reactions and talking with some really kind people here has really made me feel better and also more motivated. I was never on the internet as a person who interacted with others until August of last year!

With the sequel going slowly but surely on its development, I'm hoping for a positive reaction. I'm really trying to make this my best work yet, and so far, I personally think it is. It still does what the first game did. It takes familiar gameplay aspects but puts some small twists on them. I can't wait to share more of it when the time comes.

On the topic of the sequel, I've been thinking about getting a game page put up for it, just so I can post teasers and updates there instead of putting them here. It won't mean the game is nearing completion, of course, but it might be a good idea.

---------------------

ANYWAY, I just wanted to write this out, and just to say thank you all. I'm just a FNaF fan and average dude on the internet doing things for fun and exploring my creative side, but I seriously do appreciate everything from you guys! It's honestly made me a happier person!

I hope everyone has a nice day!
